It’s called the Freezin’ 4 a Reason 5K, but you really shouldn’t be freezing at all this Saturday – the weather is supposed to be lovely (as Nibbles, our lovely groundhog at the WNC Nature Center, predicted it would be, by the way).

So you don’t have any real excuse not to get out there and run this weekend.

The Senior Class at Trinity of Fairview will partner with the College Ministry at Trinity to host the Freezin’ 4 A Reason 5K race starting at 10 a.m. this Saturday, Feb. 9, at Fletcher Community Park off Howard Gap Road.

The 5K starts in the field adjacent to the covered pavilion and playground area in the park. Runners will start off around the inner loop of the soccer fields for 0.2 miles before taking a right on the white gravel trail heading to the greenway extension. At this point, the course is an out and back that continues 0.87 miles beyond the bridge and runs parallel to the river.

The terrain is gravel and concrete throughout this portion of the race. Once runners return from the greenway extension, they will continue to the right around on the white gravel trail. The last half mile of the race will be counter-clockwise around the ball fields inner loop. The finish shoot will be on the located on the soccer field. Course monitors and flags will be located throughout the race as well as a biker leading the way.

Cost is $25 in advance, $30 on race day, including a long sleeve T-shirt. Proceeds will go toward a mission trip the class is making June 11-18 to Honduras.
